Svala continued to search for the marigold, nodding to Meadow as the other woman spoke. "Oh, I agree. I'm hoping to try the petals out on some of my mosquito bites. I scratched at one quite a lot and now its swollen." She knew better than to scratch at them but some times it was so hard to resist the itch. "I think I might try to make an infusion of the laves and see how that does when applied topically. What about you?" She was always on the lookout to learn about more uses for plants she was aware of as well as new ones.
When meadow brought up dandelions Svala chuckled. "Oh, I know! It's a shame so many see them as a nusiance." The difference between a weed and a beautiful flower really did come down to a judgement. A flash of orange caught her attention out of the corner of her eye. "Oh, there they are!" She bounded through the brush over to a patch of marigolds growing with their bright orange flowers. They were so pretty. Svala wanted to plant some near her den during the next spring. Both to have some on hand and also just for their beauty.
